Shadows of the Green - Season 1 - Episode 13

☆☆ **********Tiffah cried as she reminisced what
happened the day Bileri died,the way she
killed him.

****

“I will spare your life on one condition.” Gori
said backing Tiffah.
“I will do anything.”

“How many hours do you have left?” he
asked.
“Five”
“Good. what is the antidote?”
“To have sex with someone after sleeping
with you.” she said jittering.
“Then, go and sleep with Bills.”
“Gee, I can’t.”
“Then you can die, at least your hot body is
useful for Lucifer.” he laughed.
“Gee, Bills is my first love, he is my reason for
being in this school. please, spare him.” She
pleaded.

“You don’t want to kill Bills right?he asked.
” I will do any other thing.”she begged. Gori
sat on the small chair in the room Bills had
offered him. he looked around and found
Tiffah’s red bag, with the tap of his finger
thrice, the bag became shredded, Tiffah
watched in horror how her expensive bag
became a rag and everything inside
including her new NokiaX2 was shattered.
“You see that? don’t think I’m an easy man
to deal with. I guessed Bills forgot to tell you
that.” he smiled.

“Gori, please! even if I agreed to this, Bills
would kill me if he noticed you are alive.”

Gori stood up, la!d bed and in some
seconds, he looked like a dead man with
blood oozing out from his mouth. Tiffah
knew Bills end was near so she picked her
bra and left.

*****

Bills was seated in his king size bed
smoking a wrap of weed, Tiffah walked in
smiling. Bills loved Tiffah and wanted to
marry her but he backed out when Tiffah
started sleeping around, she was the only
girl he had kept for a long period. he knew
she loved him and could do anything for
him, so he decided to set up Gori using her
as his bait since he knew Gori was strafing
her. He had poisoned her, and she was to
made love to Gori who would die
immediately and the only antidote was to
have sex with someone else.

“Tiffany, what’s up?” he asked impatiently,
he knew it was a fifty-fifty chance, either
Gori died or Tiffah died.

“The b-----d is dead” She concealed her
worries with a laughter.

“Poison! Bullet!” he called, two hefty men
came in, he made a sign and they exited
immediately and came in few minutes later.

“Confirmed! He is down.” Poison announced.

“You can go.” he smirked. Immediately, he
took off his clothes and made love to Tiffah.

“Why are you crying?” He asked after the
sex.

“I’m afraid of losing you.”

“I am here, Tiffah. I love you! I always dream
of you being my wife that is if only you can
stop being a prostitute.” he felt a sharp pain
in his stomach and ordered one of his
bodyguards to get his a bottle of vodka. It
grew worse and he started vomiting blood.

“Tiffah, what…. what is happening?” he
groaned in pain
“I don’t understand.” Tiffah said amist tears.

Poisons walked in.

“Boss, wetin?” he asked seeing Bills in a bad
state, he alarmed other and all guys came
into the room.

“Tiffah, wetin you do d don?” one of the
guys asked.

“I don’t know?” she replied wailing.
“Gee no dey that room again o.” Bullet
announced as he entered the room.”Baba,
Gee don disappear o!”

“call… call…. call my father.” Bills d don
groaned louder. He could barely open his
eyes, he kept vomiting blood and he knew
he would not make it, tears rolled down his
eyes. He was to die for his father’s sin. he
struggled as his eyes closed gently and his
heartbeat stopped. he was COLD DEAD.Many students went home after the second
semester examination, Kayode and
Tiwatope were no exemptions. Gori went
home after five weeks into the two months
holidays. His parents noticed he was
unnecessarily calm and composed unlike the
clumsy Goriola they birthed.

“Goriola” the mother called from outside,
Goriola met his mother peeling some tubers
of cassava and his father who sat close to
her listening to radio. Bola,Goriola sixteen
year old sister sat opposite their mother
helping her with some tubers of yam.

“Ma.” He responded adjusting his shirt.
“Are you going out again?”

“Mama,do you want me to sit at Home doing
nothing.”

“Can’t you see we’re busy outside here?
Wait, are you the first to attend a university?
Why is it that you’ve became a king since
you came. Before you gained admission, you
would go to the farm with your father, we
would peel the cassava and make gaari
together. What has come over you?” Mama
complained.

“Mama,how do you expect me to peel
cassava at my age?”

“Jeesu! You mean you’re now a big boy?”
“Mama!”
“Is it because you are changing shirt
nowadays abi? You can disrespect me?”
Mama said as she raised a bunch of broom
laying beside her.

“Old woman, you better don’t kill yourself !”

Baba warned.

“You are so foolish!” She said as she
advanced towards Goriola,who stepped
back almost immediately.

“Mama, don’t dare lay that broom on me”
“If I do, what will you do?” Mama asked
holding the broom in one hand and the
second around her waist.

“Is it because I am eating your food?”

“Then stop eating young boy!because some
boys are giving you sandals and shirt, you
think you are older than your parents.”

“Gori, just leave the old cat. Go your way”
baba said, Gori made to move but the old
woman blocked his way.

“Shey I am old cat abi?you mean an old cat
birthed to you! See, mark my words, I pray
your father doesn’t lead you astray.

B-----d!” Mama said as she went back to
her cassava.

“My son is not a b-----d!” Baba warned.

Gori and a group of boys were sitted on a
long bench in front of an uncompleted
building when a blact Toyota Camry halted,
Solomon alighted from the car and made
towards Gori. The others boys hailed as he
threw some naira notes in the air, Gori was
sitted quietly watching the unfolding drama.
“Guys, one of my babes for street get
birthday tonight o and I wan make you
show!” The guys hailed Solo.

“Gori, will you come?” He said sarcastically,
Gori kept quiet, he knew Solo was up to
something.

“It would be a cash of the Titans, let’s meet
to know the real man” he pressed further.

Gori nodded his head, it would be a good
avenue to show everyone that he was better
than the street real MVP.

****

Music was blasting from the big speakers
placed outside the clubhouse. Gori smiled as
he made for the hall, everyone was hailing
Solo, the street richest yahoo guy who was
sitted with Amara, the birthday girl. Amara
was a beautiful IBO girl, if you have no
money, do not move close to Amara.She was
living a sophisticated lifestyle,even though
her mother only owned a bukataria down
the street. She was a bit tall, had slim body,
heavy b----t and small butt0ckz. She was
not the beautiful girl you might portray her
to be. She was a classic big girl whose main
target were boys of big calibre. Gori
remembered those times he was trying to
woo her but she denied him vehemently
and go for Solo back then. He remembered
how she embarrassed him in front of his
friends two years aback when he bought an
emergency perfume for her as a val gift. He
smiled as he thought it was the right time to
pay her back in her own coin. He knew Solo
had invited him there in order to mock him
but he was fully prepared.

“I will like to introduce one of my boys in
school to all of you, I am the one who raised
him and now he can afford few shirts.

Goriola,the deaconess’ son, can you please
stand up for recognition”Solo said
immediately the MC handed over the
microphone to him, Gori stood up and
waved to everyone, even though he was
burning with anger, he knew he had to play
along. Everyone hailed as Solo continued
bragging about Gori, who was quietly sitted
watching Amara from his angle, he was
happy to be there, he smiled.

“It’s time to launch the cake and the first
person I am going to call on this platform is
Solo” The MC announced,everyone hailed as
Solo majestically took the microphone from
the MC.

“Ehm… As you all know who Amara is to me,
I singlehandedly sponsored this birthday of
hers because she is worth it. I hereby launch
this cake with the sum of fifty thousand
naira.” Everyone screamed and wailed.

Amara was happy since she knew her
birthday was another means for making
money, now, her market was selling, there
was profit. They called some other people
who were either Amara’s friends or clients
and they launched her cake below ten
thousand naira. The floor was opened for
everyone and people were laughing her
cake with five hundred, one thousand and
some with two hundred naira. Then it
happened!

Gori stood up and climbed on stage,
everywhere became quiet, some hissed,
some laughed and some watched, Amara
eyed him from where she sat. She knew he
was a wannabe bad market.

“I, Geeboy, is here to launch this cake with
the sum of three hundred thousand naira”
he said as he brought out some wads of
naira notes and gave to the MC, everyone
screamed in bewilderment, how could the
master launched with fifty thousand and the
apprentice with three hundred thousand!

Amara stood up immediately and collected
the money from the MC,she drew Gori closer
and hugged him, Gori seized the
opportunity to whisper something into her
ears and she nodded into affirmation. Solo
was dumbfounded, he was embarrassed
too. Gori threw some wads of one thousand
naira in the air as people struggled to get it.

Solo could not compete with him, he could
not afford three hundred thousand naira
home and abroad. He felt hatred towards
Amara and Gori, Amara came back to sit
near him but was not cuddling and paying
attention to him as it was earlier, he felt the
ground to swallow him.

It was time for the dare game, the celebrant
was to call out someone and Amara made to
call Gori instead of Solo, they were to
smooched and in the process, Solo left when
he could not stand them having sex in the
presence of everyone including him. He had
lose the respect everyone had for him, Gori
was to take the glory! One thing was on his
mind, REVENGE!
